The '''Opel Zafira''' is a car manufactured and marketed across three generations between 1999 and 2019 by [[Opel]]. Based on the [[Opel Astra]] platform, it is developed to occupy the [[multi-purpose vehicle]] (MPV) segment.<ref>{{cite web |title=Opel moves mobility forward from Ampera to Zafira Tourer Concept |url= http://media.gm.com/media/ie/en/opel/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/ie/en/2011/OPEL/03_01_opel_geneva_2011.html |publisher=Opel Ireland |access-date=21 August 2013 |date=1 March 2011 |quote=The Zafira Tourer Concept brings Insignia ambition, quality and innovative technologies to the large MPV segment. }}</ref>

The Zafira was also marketed under the [[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]] marque in the United Kingdom until June 2018,<ref name= "autocar_vauxhall-zafira">{{cite web|title=Vauxhall Zafira Tourer and GTC axed due to rise of SUVs|url= https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/vauxhall-zafira-tourer-and-gtc-axed-due-rise-suvs}}</ref> the [[Holden]] marque in Australia until June 2005, and under a number of other market-specific brands and names.  

The name "Zafira" derives from the [[Arabic Language|Arabic]] word meaning ''to succeed''.

The first generation Zafira was internally designated as the ''Zafira A''. Co-developed with [[Porsche]],<ref name="AutoBild">{{citation |journal=AutoBild |url=http://www.autobild.de/artikel/opel-zafira-i-1999-2005--35361.html |title=Gebrauchtwagentest: Opels Bester |trans-title=Used car assessment: Opel's best one |language=de |publisher=Axel Springer Auto Verlag |location=Hamburg, Germany |date=25 February 2002}}</ref> it debuted in concept form at the 1997 [[Frankfurt Auto Show]] and entered series production in January 1999, with sales beginning in April of that year.<ref name="AR02.2">''Automobil Revue 2002'', p. 454</ref>

The Zafira shared the [[GM T platform (FWD)|T platform]] with the 1998 [[Opel Astra|Astra G]], sharing much commonality with that car. The Zafira seated seven passengers in three rows. Using a system marketed as ''Flex 7'', the split back seat could fold into the floor to increase cargo space, without requiring removal.

Offered with a series of petrol engines and initially a single diesel offering, the "X" engines were replaced by the newer "Z" engine generation in 2000.<ref name="AR02.2" /> These featured [[Variable length intake manifold|variable intake manifolds]] and were able to meet [[European emission standards|Euro 3]] emissions standards. The 2.0-litre turbodiesels were complemented by a {{convert|125|PS|kW|0|abbr=on}} 2.2-litre option in January 2002.<ref name="AutoBild" />

The Zafira A body was used in GM/Opel's [[Concept car|concept]] [[Hydrogen vehicle|hydrogen-powered]] [[fuel cell]] vehicle the [[HydroGen3|GM HydroGen3]].

A facelift was launched in February 2003 at the [[Geneva Motor Show]].

The Zafira ranked third in the [[European Car of the Year]] for 2000, behind only the [[Fiat Multipla]] and [[Toyota Vitz (XP10)|Toyota Yaris]]. In TüV's ranking of the quality of three year old cars, the Zafira was by far the best Opel; only slightly behind the winning [[Ford Focus]].<ref name="AutoBild" />

Zafira A production ended on 25 May 2005, in [[Bochum]]. It was replaced by Zafira B in Europe, but was still sold in most other markets until 2012 (albeit that its cousin the Chevrolet Astra was discontinued in 2011), except for Australia and New Zealand, where the model was cancelled altogether.

=== Markets ===
The Zafira was marketed in the Philippines from 2001 to 2005, as the last Europe-based [[Opel]] marketed in the Philippines after they stopped selling the Opel Astra in 2003. Although sold as the Chevrolet Zafira, it was sold alongside other [[Opel]] vehicles until it the [[Opel]] name was pulled out of the Philippine-market by its distributor, GM Philippines.

The Zafira was produced and sold in the Thailand from 2000 to 2005. it was sold alongside other [[Opel]] vehicles until it the Opel name was pulled out of the Thai-market by its distributor, GM Thailand. Thailand’s domestic family wagon segment with 3,946 units sold.

The Zafira A was sold in Malaysia as the '''Chevrolet Nabira'''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 January 2005 |title=Test Driving the Chevrolet Nabira |url=http://autoworld.com.my/news/2005/01/05/Test-Driving-the-Chevrolet-Nabira/}}</ref>

=== Subaru Traviq ===
The Zafira was sold in Japan from August 2001 through to November 2004 as the '''Subaru Traviq''' alongside the standard Opel vehicle. In exchange, Subaru supplied the [[Subaru Forester]] as the Chevrolet Forester in India since 2003.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Stopford |first=William |date=2018-11-21 |title=Obscure Rebadges From Around The World: Part 6 |url=https://www.curbsideclassic.com/automotive-histories/obscure-rebadges-from-around-the-world-part-6/ |access-date=2022-12-04 |website=Curbside Classic |language=en-US}}</ref>

According to Subaru, the Traviq name was a combination of the words "travel" and "quick".<ref name="GazooTraviq">{{cite web |title=検索結果: 2001年 スバル トラヴィック Sパッケージ |trans-title=Great Car Pavilion: 2001 Subaru Traviq S-package |url=http://gazoo.com/meishakan/meisha/shousai.asp?R_ID=8502 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081011215226/http://gazoo.com/meishakan/meisha/shousai.asp?R_ID=8502 |archive-date=11 October 2008 |access-date=22 May 2012 |publisher=Gazoo.com |language=ja}}</ref> Imported from Thailand,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2001-12-20 |title=JAPAN: Subaru plans 4WD next-generation Opel Zafira-based Traviq |url=https://www.just-auto.com/news/japan-subaru-plans-4wd-next-generation-opel-zafira-based-traviq/ |access-date=2022-12-04 |website=Just Auto |language=en-US}}</ref> the Traviq was originally only available with the bigger 2.2 litre engine, although a 1.8&nbsp;L, lower priced alternative was added in July 2003.<ref name="GazooTraviq" /> The engines used were not Subaru supplied [[boxer engine|boxer]] engines, but were conventional [[Straight engine|in line]] units that were uncharacteristic to market recognised Subaru products, and all-wheel drive was also not available.

The sale of the Zafira as a Subaru created a conflict with previously established [[Yanase (car dealership)|Yanase Co., Ltd.]] retail dealerships, in that Yanase was already selling Opel products, like the Zafira. When production of the Traviq ended, Yanase continued to import Opel products into Japan until 2006.{{Citation needed|date=December 2022}} It was replaced later in 2008 by the [[Subaru Exiga]] – developed from the [[Subaru Legacy]] platform.

The second generation Zafira, internally designated ''Zafira B'', debuted in Europe on 12 February 2005, with sales starting on 9 June 2005. It shared the platform and mechanical parts with the [[Opel Astra]] H. In February 2007, the Zafira B was launched in [[Singapore]].

=== Engines ===
The Zafira B's engine line was partly carried over from the previous Astra/Zafira generation. Opel replaced the 2.0 and 2.2 turbodiesel [[Inline-four engine|I4]] engines with 1.9&nbsp;L common rail turbodiesels developed by Fiat (Multijet). [[Opel Performance Center]] developed a [[turbocharger|turbocharged]] {{convert|240|hp|abbr=on}} 2.0&nbsp;L performance version of the Zafira B as well. A CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) version of the new Zafira with a 1.6&nbsp;L engine is also available.

=== Fire issues and recalls ===

In November 2015, the [[London Fire Brigade]] issued an alert in response to a "spike" in reports of fires with the model.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-34860211|title=Vauxhall Zafira B: London fire callouts 'spike'|publisher=BBC News|date=14 December 2015 |access-date=15 December 2015}}</ref>

In December 2015, safety officials in the United Kingdom asked Vauxhall to initiate a full safety recall of the model Zafira B, due to a worrying level of [[car fire]]s apparently or alleged to have been caused by 'Improper Repairs'.<ref>{{cite news |author=Chris Choi |url=http://www.itv.com/news/2015-12-14/vauxhall-reveals-details-of-zafira-fire-investigations/ |title= Vauxhall Zafira upgraded to full safety recall status |publisher=itv.com |date=19 November 2015 |access-date=10 September 2024}}</ref>

The fires continued, even those recalled, and a second full safety recall was announced in May 2016, with all owners advised not to use the fan in speeds regulated by the "resistor pack" which contained a solder based unreliable safety critical thermal fuse, until the second recall, starting August 2016, had been carried out.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.itv.com/news/2016-05-19/vauxhall-zafira-recall-what-you-need-to-know/|title=Vauxhall Zafira recall: What you need to know |publisher=[[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] |date=19 May 2016 |access-date=19 May 2016}}</ref>

On 3 May 2018, a criminal investigation into Vauxhall's handling of the fires of the Zafira B and recalls was launched in the United Kingdom.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43987134 |title=Vauxhall Zafira fires face criminal investigation |publisher=[[BBC News]] |date=3 May 2018 |access-date=3 May 2018}}</ref>

On 31 August 2019, major damage occurred in a parking garage in [[Cork (city)|Cork, Ireland]] when an Opel Zafira caught fire.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30959872.html |title=Car which caused Cork shopping centre car-park fire removed for specialist examination |last=English |first=Eoin |date=26 October 2019 | website=Irish Examiner |access-date=1 February 2022 }}</ref>

On 7 January 2020, there was a spontaneous fire in an Opel Zafira, which caused over 200 to 300 cars in a parking garage at [[Stavanger Airport, Sola]] to be destroyed. No people were harmed.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/hundreds-cars-destroyed-fire-norway-airport|title=Hundreds of cars destroyed by fire at Norway airport |last=Holter |first=Mikael |date=8 January 2020 |website=Automotive News Europe |access-date=11 January 2020 }}</ref>

The third generation of the Zafira, called the Zafira Tourer, was previewed in concept form at the [[Geneva Motor Show#2011|2011 Geneva Motor Show]], as the 'Zafira Tourer Concept'.

It was largely based on the [[Opel Astra]] J, and when the Zafira Tourer C went on sale, the Zafira B remained on sale from 2011 up to 2014, albeit in facelifted form as the "Zafira Family", to act as a smaller and cheaper version, as the Zafira Tourer C increased in size, to act as a proper rival to the [[Ford S-Max]].<ref>{{cite web |first=John |last=McIlroy |url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/255587/ |title=Geneva motor show: Vauxhall Zafira |publisher=Auto.cz |date=1 March 2011 |access-date=23 April 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120718060842/http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2011/geneva-motor-show-vauxhall-zafira |archive-date=18 July 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

A hybrid/electric version was expected to follow during 2012. This car indirectly replaced the [[Opel Sintra]], the only previous full sized Vauxhall/Opel MPV in Europe, which was discontinued in May 1999 after just three years on sale, as a slow selling product built in the United States. The production version debuted at the [[Frankfurt Motor Show#2011|2011 Frankfurt Motor Show]] in September, and went on sale November 2011.<ref>{{cite web |first=Tom |last=Phillips |url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/263524/vauxhalls_next_zafira_previewed_as_tourer_concept.html |title=Vauxhall's next Zafira previewed as Tourer Concept |work=Auto Express |date=8 February 2011 |access-date=23 April 2012}}</ref>

A natural gas version of the Zafira Tourer was announced in December 2011. A dual fuel vehicle, its CNG tank driving the car 530 kilometres, and a 14-litre petrol tank provided additional range or operation when a CNG filling station was not available.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://media.opel.com/content/media/intl/en/opel/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/intl/en/2011/OPEL/12_08_opel_zafira_tourer_cng |title=New CNG Zafira Tourer with Best-in-Class 530 km Natural Gas Range |publisher=Opel |date=8 December 2011 |access-date=23 April 2012}}</ref>

In June 2016, a facelift was unveiled for 2017 (with sales starting at the end of 2016), dropping 'Tourer' from the name when sold as an Opel. As part of the upgrade, new front and rear bumpers and new interior brought styling in line with the [[Opel Astra|Opel Astra K]]. [[OnStar]] navigation was also introduced as part of an updated IntelliLink infotainment system, complete with 4G LTE hotspot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Other new options for MY2017 included adaptive LED headlights, "Opel Eye" front camera, high beam assist, traffic sign assist, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.<ref>{{cite web |last=Wong |first=James |date=June 2016 |url=http://www.caradvice.com.au/449249/2017-opel-zafira-facelift-unveiled/ |title=2017 Opel Zafira facelift unveiled |work=CarAdvice.com |publisher=CarAdvice |access-date=7 June 2016}}</ref>

In June 2018, the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer was discontinued from the United Kingdom, citing the rise of SUV and crossover vehicles.<ref name="autocar_vauxhall-zafira"/>

In 2019, it was replaced by [[Light commercial vehicle|LCV]]-based [[Citroën Jumpy#Third generation (K0; 2016)|Zafira Life]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-01-09|title=Opel Zafira Life : Changement de cap|url=https://www.automobile-magazine.fr/toute-l-actualite/article/24785-opel-zafira-life-changement-de-cap|access-date=2021-12-03|website=L'Automobile Magazine|language=fr}}</ref>

=== Engines ===
All engines had a six speed manual gearbox as standard, bar the 1.8 petrol, which had a five speed manual gearbox as standard. An automatic gearbox was available as an option on the 1.4T and 2.0 CDTI (165&nbsp;PS), both without S/S.

An [[EcoFLEX]] version went on sale in 2012, equipped with the 2.0 CDTI (130PS) engine and it gained a [[Start-stop system|Start/Stop system]] to make it more economical, emitting 119g/km of {{CO2}}, as for petrol variants they were 1.4T ecoFLEX with a [[Start-stop system|Start/Stop system]] with same amount of power (120 and 140&nbsp;PS) like standard versions but with lower {{CO2}} emissions – 144g/km and better fuel efficiency.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gmauthority.com/blog/2011/05/opel-vauxhall-reveals-new-zafira-tourer-frankfurt-2011/ |title=Opel Reveals New Zafira Tourer Before Frankfurt Show |publisher=GM Authority |date=19 May 2012 |access-date=27 October 2012}}</ref>

In 2013, two all new engines were introduced: [[GM Medium Gasoline Engine|1.6 SIDI Turbo]] petrol engine with 170 PS and 200 PS, and newly developed [[GM Medium diesel engine|1.6 CDTI]] diesel engine with 136 PS. In September 2014, Opel introduced its all new generation of engines – Large Diesel engines, starting with 2.0 CDTI engine with 170 PS and 400 Nm, which is a part of new strategy in which Opel will introduce seventeen new engines, in a period from 2014–2018.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://media.opel.com/media/intl/en/opel/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/intl/en/2014/opel/09-10-new-opel-cdti.html |title=All-new Opel 2.0 CDTI: New Generation Large Diesel Debuts in Paris |publisher=Media Opel |date=10 September 2014 |access-date=14 November 2014}}</ref>
